An individual is responsible for their own actions even if the devil has influenced his mind. Also coach law himself has said

"He's a great guy to have around the dressing-room. His work ethic has been outstanding, whether it be gym sessions, training, batting, bowling or fielding, he is always there. You want to see him have success but unfortunately, other things have come in."

So you can see that he is not a negative player. Its fair to blame him for his shocking performances and be angry at the selectors for his continued selection however its totally unfair to blame failures of a whole team made up of 11 players on one man and also indirectly blaming him for the failures of other players.

We can keep him in dressing room to serve tea or tell some joke .....
And on the field as a ball boy. now he is anything but a batsman and that demoralize other performers and fans alike.
